Can I put drivers into USB, factory reset computer, and drag drivers back in?

[AdrianJaden]

I downloaded a driver for my ASUS Nano 53.

Can i put the folder that has the drivers of the ASUS Nano into a USB, factory reset computer, and use the USB to put the drivers back into the computer without wifi? Will that work?

I will not have wifi after I factory reset.

Will SetupWizard need wifi as well?

yes. Not Drag and Drop, but you can download the driver installers to the USB. WiFi & networking most important. all drivers can be installed this way if you choose.
after reset you can install the network drivers and then connect to the internet to download the rest.

I tested it out.

I can download drivers, put it in USB, have no wifi, and put USB back in and drag drivers in the desktop! It's pretty much the same scenario.

Thanks for the help though <3

Not to mention, I deleted the driver before having the USB plugged back in. This is so that I will know that it will not be recognized and that it is legit.

"I can download drivers, put it in USB, have no wifi, and put USB back in and drag drivers in the desktop! It's pretty much the same scenario".

You could have installed the driver (any driver) direct from the pen drive without first dragging it to the desktop.
It may have taken a tad longer to complete the install (USB versus SATA) but it would have worked just the same.
